Fire restrictions are underway as of today on the Lassen National Forest. That means fire officials on the National Forest northeast of Chico will be cracking down on campfire use, off road driving, smoking, wood cutting and other forest activities. Such restrictions are ordered every year at this time when the hot dry weather makes the forests more susceptible to woldfires. Those with questkions can contact the Forest Headquarters in Susanville or the seperate ranger districts in Almanor or Eagle Lake.
